Shutter 2.75 adds Focus Bracketing to Sony cameras

Shutter 2.75 adds Focus Bracketing to Sony cameras
The new Shutter – Sony Camera Remote version is available for iPhone and iPad.
What’s new
Version 2.75 introduces Focus Bracketing within Shutter app – a convenient iOS remote for Sony cameras.
With Shutter, you can conveniently capture sequences of photos between two defined focus distances. Simply select the nearest and furthest points, the number of photos you want to capture and click the trigger button. Shutter app will do the rest.
For landscape photographers, there is even an option to combine focus with exposure bracketing.
Focus bracketing is available for the following Sony cameras: a1 · a7C · a7 IV · a7R IV · a7S III · a9 · a9 II · FX3 · RX100 VII · ZV-1 · ZV-E10
Technical detail: focus distance is expressed as a percentage. 0 means the lens’ minimum focus distance, 100 is infinity. Focus bracketing can work in 1 percentage point increments. Sony cameras don’t send the actual focusing distance in inches or meters.
About Shutter
Shutter was born as a tool to help take better selfies during one of our trips to Swiss Alps. Since then, it evolved to be a trusted tool among not only among hobbyists, but also many professional photographers. To this day, it’s been used by over 32,000 people.
